Terrycloth & Binding?

Terrycloth & Binding?
I bought a yard of terry cloth to make into a large towel (well now two small towels) ... I had some leftover binding from a quilt so I thought I could use that to bind the fraying end of the towel. It looks aweful. Is there a trick to this?

you didn't really tell us just why it 'looks terrible'? what went wrong?
normally i have just made regular binding- fold in half, pressed, machine stitched to one side- folded to other side- stitched down == just like nycquilter does=
without knowing what exactly went wrong on yours we really are not much help i'm afraid.

um.. i'll take a picture .. I sewed it to one side but I didn't keep a straight line (I can fix that) and then folded it over and tried to machine sew it down ..
